What is restricted countries, what does it mean

Restricted country is a country where players can't play, sing up, deposit and so on. 

There are countries that place restrictions on which gambling websites can be accessed. Some countries have even banned online gambling altogether.The online casino sector is one that has seen consistent growth. 

The specific rules vary from one country to the next.  Probably, you have already encountered the situation when online casino rules say that you can play  and later you find out that some online games are not available for you.

For sure it is not a pleasant thing to happen, especially when you have made a deposit having in mind to play only in a particular online game.

It can also happen with online slots, and there is reason why : 

• a software developing company that produces online slot restricts the usage of their services on some territories

• a company that owns intellectual property rights imposes these restrictions. It happens only when we are talking about “branded” slots

When you are looking for an online casino to play in, there are many factors that could prevent you from playing there. One of these factors include the country in which you are playing from. This could mean that you are simply not allowed to sign up, because your country is restricted from playing at that casino. A restricted country basically means that, if you reside in one of those countries, you are restricted from registering and placing any real money bets at that casino. Something to keep your eye out for is whether or not your country is restricted from receiving a bonus at any given casino. Your country may not appear as a 'restricted country' for playing at a casino, but you may not be allowed to claim a bonus such as a welcome bonus.

In order to find out whether your country is restricted, you will need to read the casino’s Terms and Conditions, which are usually located at the bottom of the casino’s website. It will also become apparent when you try to sign up to a casino and input your home address, because you will notice that the country you reside in does not appear in the list for you to select. Again, if in any doubt, you can contact the casino's support who will be able to tell you whether or not you can play at their casino.
